Permit Toolbox Background

This page contains information on the background, design, and schedule of the Permit Toolbox

Summary

The first permit desk manuals were distributed in 1989 and 1992.
From 1992 to 1997 there were many changes in federal and state laws, including; Subtitle D, AB 1220, Compost Regulations, Regulatory Tiers, Title 27, etc.
The Permit Desk Manual was rescinded in 1997.
A working group of LEAs, operators, and Board staff drafted an outline and table of contents for the replacement permit desk manual in 1998.
In 1998-2001, the Board and LEA computer and Internet capabilities greatly increased.
In April 2000, Board staff was assigned to research, design, and develop an electronic web-based permit manual now referred to as the Permit Toolbox.
On February 6, 2001, the draft version of this web site became available on-line for review by LEAs and other stakeholders.
